The case of the misfilled prescription
Wayne wasn' t feeling well and wasn't getting any better. He had been very weak and placed on a ventilator to assist his breathing. Neither Wayne, his wife, nor his doctors could explain what was causing Wayne's problems. Wayne asked The Girards Law Firm for help. After sifting through volumes of records, The Girards Law Firm discovered that Wayne's medical records and pharmacy records showed a discrepancy. Further work revealed that the pharmacy had filled a prescription differently than the doctor had ordered. The prescription was for a drug that affected breathing and other body systems. After bringing in experts and treating physicians, The Girards Law Firm was able to show the connection between the misfiled prescription and Wayne's problems. The Girards Law Firm was able to force the pharmacy to admit to the error and accept responsibility. Our efforts resulted in a settlement to assure Wayne received proper care for the remainder of his life.
This case was settled for $5 million prior to trial.
